Yale and Dartmouth, with Sonny Howe and Dick Hoehn at their first singles spots, will provide very strong opposition for the varsity's captain, Larry Sears, and Yale and Princeton should be quite strong well down the ladder this winter. Depth may be the deciding factor in the Ivy League race this year, and it looks as though the Crimson might have the depth to regain the titles which it lost last winter in a stunning weekend of losses to Navy and Princeton...

Their greatest enemy is not the oilmen, but the Alaska Railroad-a creature of the conservationist Interior Department-which last winter killed 366 moose on the tracks.

Pringle reports that one night during the first winter of the courtship an alarmed classmate telegraphed to New York that Roosevelt was somewhere in the woods near Cambridge and refused to come home. A close cousin, who hurried up, managed somehow to soothe him; and soon his confidence returned...
